RO water is demineralized and the pH is impacted. It is not a healthy drinking water outside of occasional use. It is also not appetizing and thus it's easy to become dehydrated.

After years of RO water I switched to spring water due to health issues and I will never look back.

Of course, it is insanely expensive to drink 3L of spring water and so frustrating to not have unpoisoned water from the tap.

There are certain models which have a sixth stage to remineralize the water and balance the pH.

Also relying on municipal water for mineralization is a bad argument. The minerals in water supplies is highly localized, or drinking tap water could leave you deficient in one or more minerals depending just depending on where you live.

Huh, I drank RO water for most of my liquid intake growing up and loved the taste. I like it a lot more than tap water.
